About STED Our World Sted stands for our inspiration philosophy. The Norwegian translation of ‘somewhere’ is part of this ongoing concept that our inspiration and design comes from all places unknown. We study not only the fashion of the world, but the surroundings, taking into consideration the architecture, feeling and mood of the land that people walk on. The overall inspiration for each collection is formed from a multitude of places that come together to create a new world -- an unknown “somewhere” where a look and lifestyle is formed, created and grown. Our Mission Sted takes great pride in creating exceptionally high quality cashmere and cashmereblend jackets and coats for men. Our clients are always top priority and we aim to always give the the best customer service whether it be by repairs or sizing a client for a specific fit or cut. Since our founding in 2010, we have been proud to carry a full line of outerwear from airy spring jackets to long, structured winter topcoats and have created a strong client base that knows we are here for them as much as they are here for us. Our Collection The fall 2013 collection, entitled “Some Kind of Somewhere” takes direct inspiration from Julian Carot’s film for the song “Springed Dodge” by Principles of Geometry. Earth tones, clean lines and subtle differences in texture are what drives the collection. Similar to Carot’s film, the collection attempts to find grace in a place where there only seems to be disturbance.

It all starts with a simple idea. If its hand-made, it's amazing...Unless it's not. Good design and good quality are two separate things. I don't really keep up with the latest fashion trends through magazines and such. The associate helping me should know them all. I have two kids, 3 and 4 years old. Their favorite toys are bones and squishy cats. “Gucci, Gucci, Louis, Louis, Fendi, Fendi, Prada. Them basic b****** wear that s***, so I don’t even botha.” This song is stupid, but it describes sense of style, I guess. If it’s not innovative, new, or straightforward, it’s not a good idea. If you’re gonna do something halfway, don’t f****** do it! I can retire any day I want...the thing is, I don’t want to. Work is what keeps me going sometimes.

A Day In The Life ! Sven Von Volkmann is a 39 year old former real estate entrepreneur and currently the CEO of his now 8 year old company, The Volkmann House, a brand of functional and innovative luxury furniture and housewares. His previous company, Volkmann-Meijer, a real estate and interior design firm is now run by his long-time friend and business partner out in California. Sven currently lives in a 2.495 million dollar home in Manhattan’s Upper East Side with his two pugs, Charlie and Duke. His home is furnished with mainly products that he designed and believes that if someone wouldn’t use a product that they want others to use, then it shouldn’t be sold, let alone exist. He take great pride in the name he’s built for himself and enjoys nearly every minute of it. ! Sven enjoys looking good and hates the basic uniform of a light blue button down shirt and a pair of khakis that too many entrepreneurs are caught wearing. His fall wardrobe, like every other fashionable New Yorker’s, consists of black, black and more black. Though he does add quite a bit of color into the mix with muted maroons, bold blues, pale yellows and greens as well as subtle prints and a lot of different textures to keep his wardrobe alive. He keeps his closet extremely organized like the rest of his home. Everything has a place. Slim fit button downs in one spot, henleys in another -everything stays easily organized from casual clothing, to business to night. It doesn’t take him long to choose an outfit due to the fact that he always buys pieces that will stay relevant from year to year. He likes the classic styles, but with added details like stylized buttons or seaming to keep things modern and up to date. ! Sven spends most of his mornings by himself or with his dogs. He works out 3-4 times a week and tries hard to stay fit and healthy and not let the stress of his endeavors throw him over the edge. He’s currently single and even though he doesn’t have a significant other to come home to each night, he sees himself not as lonely, but just waiting for the right person to come along that understands how much it takes to be with an entrepreneur. Week days are usually spend on the go running his company. He seems to always be on his iPhone checking his email for work or Twitter -- not only to post personal and professional tweets, but also to stay easily updated on what’s going on in the world. ! He uses his company as another form of himself. He doesn’t like to hide behind his company and takes full advantage of promoting himself as a business owner and entrepreneur. He feels that it’s important to market yourself just as you would your company. His offices are located within walking distance on the corner of 67th and Madison so he can easily get to and from work whenever he needs to. He has a tight knit immediate staff of 13 that work on all different aspects of the company and under them are smaller teams of people. He runs his company as if all his employees were family. ! Sven’s nights are either spent out at a quiet bar with friends or at home with his dogs. He really enjoys his quality time alone because the rest of his time is spent with other people and things can get very stressful when trying to juggle multiple jobs as well as keep a decent social life. He’s not one to go out often and when he does, he’d rather go to a calm, relaxing bar than a loud night club.

Selling Concepts Appeal ! Our customer is looking for a finishing touch to their wardrobe. They, along with us, believe that the coat is one of the most important parts of a look, not only because it is the first garment seen before all others, but because a piece of outerwear also gives protection from the elements. We believe that every man needs the correct piece of seasonal outerwear that not only protects, but stuns an audience and our fall line is dedicated to protecting our customer from the cold weather seasons. Distinctive Characteristics ! The line stands out with its use of print and contrasting colors which are not usually seen in outerwear, especially for the age range of our target customer. Each piece has a simplicity to it and plays towards the classics which is very important to our success in the industry. Our use of design details give our customer exactly what they’re looking for while also allowing us to stay true to our own design aesthetic. Geographic Location ! Our fall line would be located inside Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan New York’s Midtown neighborhood. This location would give our customer easy access to our merchandise and the fact that it is exclusively sold at Bergdorf’s would automatically set a high standard among competitors because they only sell top of the line, high end merchandise.

Selling Period Introductory Phase • The classic trench coats would be at the front of the store to draw people in. Since this is a new brand, we feel that we need to first attract the customer with something they already know -- a trench coat is a must have item for fall. After luring them in, we plan to push the more “edgy” pieces like the Gunnbjørn Topcoat with it’s funnel collar and printed contrast paneling to send the message that we do have classic pieces, but that is not all that we are limited to. Also, the reason for putting a heavier coat up front is to enforce that the cold weather is coming quickly so it’s best to get your winter coats ahead of time. Maintenance Phase • The entrance will feature more of a fall look with the shorter pieces up front. We feel that by this point, the customer will be looking for something they could basically wear out of the store as the weather gets cooler. Around this time when the weather is constantly changing, more and more people will be looking for pieces to accommodate that. They’ll want something that will keep them warm in the morning, but isn’t too long because the afternoon weather may be drastically warmer. The reason for the Gotland Topcoat in the center is still to push the customer to get their winter coats early. Also, the long winter coats are our most expensive piece and we always want to have some of our priciest, most favored pieces displayed out in the open, rather than in the back of the store. Closing Out Phase (Clearance) • We’ve kept a very clean layout with very specific groupings of the merchandise. All merchandise that comes in multiple colors are displayed in a linear fashion moving deep into the store. The merchandise alternates from a long length to a short length, keeping things visually symmetrical on that side of the store. All single-colored merchandise is displayed on a new, curved fixture to also attract attention to those pieces. On this fixture the pieced move from light to dark with the colors moving from sand, to brown, to black. The length partially alternate with two short pieces being in front, moving to long, short, and ending in a mid length piece. This, in a way replicates the other side of the store and helps keep things cohesive.

SWOT Analysis S • Pricing is generally lower than most of Bergdorf’s designer lines • The line stays right on trend for the fall 2013 season • The line uses prints and colors in a way that competitors usually don’t use them W • My sizes go up to XL. Some competitive lines go up to to XXL • The line may not appeal to the general customer looking for the classic piece • The line only includes coats, limiting the success to 1 type of garment O • The line will appeal to a slightly edgier Bergdorf customer as well as the classic ones • Customers can find a large variety of outerwear under one brand • The nation is coming out of a recession T • Prints & colors used may not be in style season after season, so customers who are looking for a style that will last may not buy • Customers may already be brand loyal, especially with competitive lines being well known designer lines. • Prints and colors used may not appeal to the Bergdorf customer

For Immediate Release Tuesday, July 30, 2013 Bergdorf Goodman Introduces New Menswear Brand Sted !
Esteemed luxury clothing retailer, Bergdorf Goodman is proud to bring in
designer menswear label, Sted into their Manhattan location. The outerwear collection, entitled “Something from Somewhere” showcases beautiful earth tones, structured seaming, and luxurious cashmeres. !
Bergdorf’s Midtown store located at 754 5th Ave. 10019 will be a buzz with
customers, editors, and the head buyer for the company, Linda Fargo. Doors are open during regular store hours (10am-9pm) for everyone to get a chance to get in on seeing and buying the merchandise. Inspired by the video for “Springed Dodge” by Principles of Geometry, the line uses bold neutrals, clean lines and subtle differences in texture to portray a story of trying to find grace in a place where there only seems to be disturbance. !
“We are more than ecstatic about the new line,” says Fargo. “It’ll give our
customer a different take on the modern classic piece of outerwear. Each piece makes a grand statement without being too loud and flashy.” The collection won’t be in stores for long due to the already high amount of anticipation. Bergdorf Goodman urges customers to get their ‘Stedwear’ now.

Designer Biography !
Kyle Hart is a student studying Fashion Business at Columbia College Chicago.
Throughout his time there, he has gained much knowledge of the fashion industry in many different areas such as fashion show production, illustration, design, and visual merchandising. He believes that to understand one aspect of the industry, you need to understand many and be aware of how they intertwine and rely on one another to create the multi-billion dollar industry that it is. Hart feels strongly that as a designer, it is important to understand how to market not only your brand and the clothing, but yourself as a creator, thinker, and conceptual human being. !
Hart’s main focus is womenswear, but has decided branch out into menswear to
bring a new look to the industry. He feels that his simplistic, yet elegant and sophisticated design style will translate well in the high-end menswear market. He likes to focus on the little details like a print, seaming, or a specific color that represent the many places, objects and people that inspire him. Hart feels that in today’s world, as people come together as a society, so should the way we dress and represent ourselves. “An initially Asian inspired collection doesn’t have to include only Eastern forms of clothing, but can include Western forms as well, or even details that come from many other continents as long as it’s done right. For instance, using a print that represents Japanese cherry blossoms, but in a fit or cut that representative of the clothing worn during the Cold War.” !
It’s this type of juxtaposition that drives Harts designs. Hart feels that it’s
important to mix and match styles of clothing just we mix and match everything else in our culture.
